Making progress in Laravel

I’m making good progress in learning Laravel.

I just wrote a service provider, and then created a Facade for it. The concepts are coming together nicely. Here are a few of the pages I used to help figure this out:

• https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/providers#registering-providers
• http://laraveldaily.com/how-to-use-external-classes-and-php-files-in-laravel-controller/
• https://laraveltips.wordpress.com/category/service-providers-in-laravel-5-1/
• http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/what-are-laravel-50-facades–cms-25347

I like the way that Facades work. They make the code cleaner.
